Moksha

Moksha (, UK also; Sanskrit: मोक्ष, mokṣa), also called vimoksha, vimukti, and mukti, is a term in Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism for freedom, liberation, or release from 'impurities' (klesa) such as ignorance (avidhya) and 'earthly desires', and from saṃsāra, the cycle of death and rebirth.

In Hindu traditions, moksha is a central concept and the utmost aim of human life. It can be seen as a perfection of living according to dharma, the eternal rules for virtues and righteous living. Moksha may be attained while living, or being embodied (jivanmukti), or after dying, when atman is disembodied (videhamukti).
